giving you what you want

[carneouspuella]

[ WHO ]: Visi and YOU!
[ WHERE ]: The apartments - your choice of your own, an empty one you were exploring, or the hallways!
[ WHEN ]: 3AM on April 6th
[ OPEN/CLOSED? ]: OPEN!
[ RATING ]: PG for now. Will change if anything happens.
[ WARNINGS ]: DEATH, posthumous dismemberment, gore, uncomfortable descriptions of Fleshchildren.
[ NOTES ]: IF YOU ARE PLAYING A HUMAN FEMALE AND TAG THIS!! Please specify if you want Visi to see you as inhuman or not! She will attempt to kill and take bodyparts otherwise!


[Her head is lying back in her own apartment, the long black locks slowly turning to gold. There is no safe place to contain it right now, and she can only hope it will be all right for her getting back to it.]

[Her entire body is flesh, now. She is not wearing her shift. The only thing she has with her is her butcher's knife, held securely in the flesh at the end of her arm. She hasn't quite got the hang of hands just yet, but she's getting close.]

[Up and down the corridors she goes, her feet making little sticking sounds as she walks. Every so often, she'll stop, listen, and then collapse into a puddle and attempt to slither under the door of an apartment.]

[Maybe you've just seen her do this. Or maybe you'll wake up to find her staring down at you while you sleep.]

[Who knows.]

[Visi isn't easy to identify right now. In fact, except for a slight widening at her hips, she looks identical to Vice without her head on. Not that Kotomi has seen either of them until today, but that's neither here nor there.

Visi watches her wake up. Usually, she has an impeccable ability to pinpoint a human, and especially a human girl or woman. But this place confuses her. There are humans that are no longer humans, and she is worried about taking their flesh without her mother to save her should anything go wrong. They muddle things and make things hard to see.

And she can't see that Kotomi is a human girl, not right now.]

Hello.

I didn't mean to wake you up.

[etudes]

....

Good morning. Or.. night, I guess.

[ PRIORITIES. Even though she still doesn't know what's going on, she's still just going by the fact that if someone speaks up to her, she needs to properly greet them! But her brains are still stumped on the mystery of "Who's that Pokémon Weird Blob Thing?" that she's just blinking as she sits up to look at Visi more. ]

Um.. your voice is a little familiar.

[carneouspuella]

[Visi sits on the edge of Kotomi's bed, blinking at her with her little red eyes. She smells of blood and meat.]

My name is Visi. I am a Fleshchild.

[etudes]

Ah.. I think I talked to you before. [ She blinks. ] We talked about bullies.

[ Another long pause, it really takes some time to think about all this.. ]

I didn't know you looked like this though.

[carneouspuella]

[She remembers that conversation. Familiarity glimmers in her eyes and she nods in response, but her reply, when it comes, is about her appearance. She gives a soft laugh.]

I have a head, but it wouldn't fit under the door.

[etudes]

[ So this is.. a Fleshchild, that was what she called it, right? Maybe it's sort of like people from fairytales with special names. But then again, she doesn't seem dangerous.. because Kotomi is fully oblivious. As always. Sleepiness only makes it worse, and she rubs her eyes a little. ]

That's true. It would be difficult to fit it under there. [ .. wait.. ] You can fit the rest under there? Isn't that too big too?

[carneouspuella]

[Visi giggles. She stands, and then immediately falls into her puddle form. She slithers under Kotomi's bed, then back out and reforms.]

All Fleshchildren can do this, of course!

[etudes]

[ ...........

Woah....

.....

She spaces out at it for what's most likely literally a minute or two before she finally speaks up again. ]

I've never seen Fleshchildren before, but.. you seem pretty amazing.

[carneouspuella]

[Visi isn't able to blush, but she holds her little meaty hands together below her face and the flesh around her mouth changes - she's smiling. Proud.]

Thank you. I'll be even more amazing when I'm complete and just like you, though.

[etudes]

I hope you'll be able to become complete then.

[ It probably helps that Kotomi even thinks of some humans as seperate from other humans, like bullies, so.. Fleshchildren are basically like that to her, really. It's why she smiles as if nothing's up here. ]

Someone as nice as you deserves it.

[carneouspuella]

[That makes her giggle.] I'm glad I came in here tonight!

[Taking a seat back on the bed, she settles down at the edge.] Have you been bothered much by the ghosts here?

[etudes]

[ Kotomi sits up more properly in her bed too, so she can at least lean her back against something. TOTALLY NORMAL SLUMBER PARTY, RIGHT. She looks comfortable enough, at least, until she hears the question and looks a little more unsure as she nods. ]

They're sort of scary.. I think. Sometimes it's like I can hear them at night..

[carneouspuella]

[Has there ever been a more normal slumber party? I can't think of one! Visi leans back until her back touches the wall.] Yes. They are a little startling, like the dolls in my room. They move, you know. Of their own accord.

[etudes]

.. There's dolls in your room? [ Huh. There aren't any here, although.. ] Sometimes strange stuff happens here too.. I wonder if all of the rooms are like this.

[carneouspuella]

Lots of dolls, [Her face, from what expression can be made out on it, is grave.] Porcelain and rubber and wooden, all lining the walls and moving on their own. Sometimes I can see them move, if I watch.

[She turns over her arms, looking at the tips of her forelimbs.] I used to be able to turn into a doll, when I dreamed. They're so very nearly perfect... I was envious, I think.

... But now I'm just talking on and on. What strange things happen here?

[etudes]

[ Well, Kotomi's dreams are sometimes weird too. So she doesn't think much of it. But the moving dolls in her room sound pretty scary.. ]

Um.. well, sometimes at night there's this weird feeling, like I'm.. drowning or something. [ .. hmm.. her expression turns a little more downcast. ] I wonder if it has to do with mother and father..

[carneouspuella]

[Not having lungs, Visi can't really comment. She does, however, know what it's like to have a parent.]

What happened to your mother and father?

[etudes]

..

[ For a moment she's quiet. Her hands on her lap tightly grasp the fabric of the sheets, and when she speaks up her voice isn't as blank as it usually is. ]

They.. had an accident. And because of that, they both sunk to the bottom of the sea.. and died.

[carneouspuella]

[Visi is also quiet for long moments.]

I see.

[She gently puts the tip of her forelimb on Kotomi's shoulder.]

I would be sad if my parent died, too. It must have been horrible.

IT'S SO CUTE YET SO WRONG.

[etudes]

It was really weird and scary to suddenly have them not be there anymore.. and.. it was really lonely too, since I didn't have any siblings or friends..

[ So she just sat inside 24/7 reading books. And this is why wouldn't even be alarmed by something looking like Visi.. ]

.. I don't like that time at all.

AHAHAHA A GIRL AND HER FLESHFRIEND...

[carneouspuella]

[Squelch pat.]

I haven't lived for long, and this is the longest I have been away from my parent. I... miss their encompassing protection and encouragement, but it is exhilarating to be out on my own.

[etudes]

Isn't missing them the worst though..? [ Kotomi's never wanted freedom. She's the kind of obedient girl who would prefer being sheltered and protected by the people close to her forever rather than having to do anything on her own. Somehow that only makes Visi more amazing though.. ] You aren't scared?

[carneouspuella]

I don't really understand fear.

[She pushes herself off the bed.]

It's unnerving and dangerous here. I think it must be like that. And I think... it wouldn't be so bad, if I could go home to their all encompassing love.

... Is it like that?

[etudes]

[ .. Don't.. understand it? Could it be that she's just never felt fear before? For someone like Kotomi, who wibbles at the slightest thing anyone says to her, it's almost impossible to imagine what it's like to not know fear, really.. ]

Yeah.. it's like that. You've never felt that..? Not even one moment?

[carneouspuella]

[She thinks.]

No... not at all.

Not once.
